My Great Grandfather, William R. Jones born in 1838, Mississippi. He died in 1863. His parents and siblings: My GG Grandfather, William Jones, was born 1809 Kentucky, married Eleanor Brashear, 1818, Roane, Tennessee and died 1845 in Sommerville, Morgan County, Alabama. William moved back to Mississippi after Eleanor death. There was six of the children. i.

She was born about 1834 and was married to Thomas Stewart in 1854-55. iii. Sarah. b abt 1836 was married to James Mortimer Rogers and he was a causality of the Civil War. In a letter that she wrote [I have in my procession] she said that she was to married again to A. A. Silbavin. I have never found anyone by that name. The letter was written from Giles County, Tennessee. iv. The next was my Great Grandfather William. Left orphaned at the age of fifteen, he had a guardian that put to work on a farm. At the age of nineteen he was living in Rogersville, Lauderdale, County, Alabama, were he married Sarah Ann McKee. They had two children. The oldest baby, a son, died as a baby, the daughter, Sarah Frances [my grandmother] born 1862 in Lauderdale, Alabama and never knew her father. He was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga in Sept. of 1863. They came to Denton County, Texas with her mother. She married Jasper Watson Morris in 1878. v. Jesse G. was born in 1842 Morgan County, Alabama, he married Susan F. Varnell and died in 1917 in Knox County, Texas. vi. Mary was born in 1845 and her mother died at childbirth. Upon the death of the father, her sister Frances took her into the Stewart home to raise. I know nothing of the William Jones, Sr., that he was born in Kentucky in 1809. I am hoping that some of you might have something to share with me. Nova
